公开报告有关卫生保健质量的比较信息正在成为一种公认的提高问责制和质量的方式。高质量的成绩单在美国已经突出了十多年，也是英国卫生系统改革的一个中心特征。在本文中，我们探讨了两国在实施该政策方面的共同挑战和差异。我们使用这些信息来探讨与内容、目标受众和已发布信息的使用相关的一些关键问题。最后，我们提出了具体的建议，以最大限度地提高公共报告的有效性。
The public reporting of comparative information about health care quality is becoming an accepted way of improving accountability and quality. Quality report cards have been prominent in the United States for more than a decade and are a central feature of British health system reform. In this paper we examine the common challenges and differences in implementation of the policy in the two countries. We use this information to explore some key questions relating to the content, target audience, and use of published information. We end by making specific recommendations for maximizing the effectiveness of public reporting.
